    Hi jump kick or brick break for Medicham? Which is better?
     
    i know it sounds crazy, but i like drain punch. its defenses are quite decent, but it still can't take as many hits as you'd like, and with such a average speed, is definitely going to take some hits. so i give it Drain Punch w/ Big Root. drain punch's base power becomes 90 because of STAB, and gets another boost from Big Root to make it 104 base power.
     
    Wait a minute, I though Big Root only increased the health recovery, not the damage...

    Anyway, my educated opinion between BB and HJK, is to go HJK All the way. Who would want to blow off 100 base power (which is 150 with STAB)?
     
    it's so weird because sites are saying that it increases the health recovery, but the game clearly says "boosts the power of HP-stealing moves to let the holder recover more HP". it's been confirmed that the recovery boost is 15% for all moves, but for all we know, for damage moves like Drain Punch and Giga Drain, it may actually increase the power by 30% for a result in 15% recovery.

    i have noticed the move being stronger than it is against Steelix at Victory Road w/ Big Root attached.
     
    While we are having such a lovely and engaging coversation, i'll ask this: would Big Root increase recovery for Leech Seed as well? Maybe even damage? Sorry if this is off topic.

    And I would agree that Drain Punch is great for Medichamp. Shame my Raichu can't learn it to.
     
    umm yes Big Root does increase the recovery for Leech Seed as well.. it increases by 15%.
